Job Description

Maybe you call yourself a Senior Data Engineer or an Azure wrangler, a Databricks whisperer, a senior "works-on-my-cluster" engineer… or maybe you just call yourself Sam. Whatever you call yourself, you'll join our Delivery team and build the data platforms our clients actually run on, the pipelines and models behind the moment a client leans forward and says"wait, show me that again."

Tips for South African Applicants

Timezone Advantage

South Africa (SAST, UTC+2) overlaps well with European business hours and has a few hours of overlap with US East Coast. Mention your timezone flexibility in your application.

Salary in Context

Even without a listed salary, international remote roles typically pay 2-3x more than equivalent local positions in South Africa due to the exchange rate advantage.

Application Tips

Tailor your CV to international standards — use a clean format, highlight remote work experience, and include your English proficiency. Many SA applicants succeed by emphasising their strong work ethic and cultural adaptability.

Load Shedding Preparedness

If you're applying for a remote role, having a backup power solution (UPS, inverter, or generator) and mobile data as a backup internet connection shows employers you're prepared for South Africa's infrastructure challenges.
